OUR NATIONAL SOCIETY. 

#-|"-*EX years ago the number of members recorded in the Na- 
tional Society of the Daughters of the American Revolu- 
tion was twenty-seven thousand four hundred and thirty- 
two; this year the Registrar General records seventy-two thousand 
seven hundred and fifty seven, and a voting membership in the Eigh- 
teenth Continental Congress of one thousand, four hundred and eight; 
the actual membership being fifty-eight thousand and twenty-four. 

Ten years ago there seemed to be, in the National Society, three 
great objects of interest; the collection of funds for the proposed 
Memorial Hall, a Federal Law to prevent and punish the desecration 
of the Flag, and the amending of the Constitution and by-laws of the 
National Society. To a large majority a fourth interest seemed to be 
the defeat of Mrs. Donald McLean for the office of President General, 
an office for which many thought her to be peculiarly well fitted. 

At the end of ten years we have seen our dream — that which, for 
many years, seemed as if always to be our "Castle of Air" — become a 
reality. Our Memorial Continental Hall is finished — its pure white 
marble walls shine and glisten through the beautiful foliage of the 
trees in Washington Monument Park. Within, the building so rarely 
beautiful in the simplicity of design, seems indeed a temple of patriot- 
ism as without, it is a monument to heroism. 

As the years have passed each Congress seems more disposed to 
pass that law so much desired, which is deigned to protect the stars 
and stripes from misuse and commercialism, but the goal has not 
yet been reached. The States however have not waited — but in 
rapid succession have enacted laws, which serve to protect from 
desecration, the flag of the United States, within their borders, and 
now more than thirty States bear this law upon their statute books. 

At the close of the sixth year of the past decade Mrs. Donald 
McLean was elected President General, and for four years has given 
to this Society a splendid administration and has raised our standard 
far above that conceived by its founders and Charter members. 

Steadily has the Society increased in numbers, and with num- 
bers has come a unity of purpose in the effort to preserve and promote 
the spirit of Patriotism throughout our land. 

The |in servation of historic spots — the celebration of anniversaries 
and the building of monuments is the foundation upon which we have 
built. We have taught the unthinking people of our country that with- 
out a reverence for the past, without public records of those who 
founded our nation and endured the hardships of the pioneer — we could 
not be a truly great people. 






During the past ten years we have seen not only our beautiful 
Memorial Hall rise to honor the memory and spirit of the men and 
women who achieved American Independence, but tablets and monu- 
ments have been erected by the Daughters of the American Revolution 
and by associations with kindred interests all over the land, to honor 
che memory of hero, patriot and pioneer. A memorial hall, built by 
the Daughters of the American Revolution in memory of those first 
settlers, old in the history of our country, when the war for in- 
dependence commenced, has been erected on Jamestown Island; at 
Valley Forge we see a great park, within which buildings and earth- 
works, sacred to the memory of the indomitable will of George Wash- 
ington, are safe from destruction and decay, and in the building called 
the Headquarters of the Commander in Chief, are rooms restored 
and furnished by Daughters of the Revolution and of the American 
Revolution. 

In the west we see rising high in the air a magnificent shaft to 
honor George Rogers Clark — Indian fighter and explorer, and across 
the great western plains at intervals great boulders of granite with 
'tablets of bronze embedded in them, mark the Santa Fe Trail. In 
the south we remember with pride that one of the first interests to 
bind us together was the purchase, by the National Society, of Meadow 
Garden Farm, the home of George Walton, a signer of the Declaration 
of Independence; and here within our own home town we have 
preserved that which stands, not only for the courage of English blood, 
the endurance of Scot, but a monument symbolizing the courage and 
endurance, the steadfastness and integrity that has made us a Nation. 

A tribute to the Block House is a tribute to that which it 
represents, for what is there in brick, stone, mortar or wood, of value 
to your country, if no thought save that of curiosity in peculiar con- 
struction or situation is aroused, if no thought comes of deeds of valor, 
tender care of wounded or dying, or of women and children, of victory 
won, or a country saved from savage, weakling or oppressor? 

We give then our tribute to that strong little Redoubt of the great 
"Fort Pitt," which has withstood attacks of savage Indian, of mighty 
waters and still fiercer flames — of neglect, misuse and cunning greed. 
The hand of time and D. A. R. alone have dealt gently with those 
scarred and weather-beaten walls. 

The Block House, now honored by men of all nations, as a monu- 
ment to faith and integrity, of plans thought out by a master mind 
across the sea, William Pitt; a monument to the force and energy, 
courage and endurance of General Forbes, his Highland and his 
Colonial troops; a monument to Washington, Gist, Bouquet and many 
more whom we delight to honor as the founders of the great City, now 
stretching out many miles from the Block House, the place of its birth, 
to the east, the west, the north and south. "Per Tot Discrimina" the 



words selected by General Forbes, are now our motto and the Block 
House is a monument not only to the power of England, to the In- 
dependence of America and to the valor of her men, but to the love, 
faith and loyalty of her daughters to their home and country. 

OUR STATE. 

At the end of ten years we are glad to record the fact, that there 
now exists in Pennsylvania a greater degree of friendliness and more 
sympathy between Chapters than existed, when your Regent first 
met the members of other Chapters. Ten years ago we found the 
members of Chapters in the State, practically strangers to one another 
—the work of organizing Chapters had been ably carried on for seven 
years by our member, Mrs. Julia K. Hogg, State Regent of Pennsyl- 
vania, but there having been but two Conferences held within the 
State, during the first eight years of the life of the National Society, 
there had been no incentive for joint action or work in the State itself. 

In 1898 a resolution had been adopted by the Pennsylvania Dele- 
gates to the Continental Congress of that year, that a testimonial in 
the form of a permanent memorial should be established in honor of 
Mrs. Hogg, as a record of her services to the State, for seven years. 

A committee was appointed, and after many arguments, dis- 
cussions and delays, we finally agreed upon the plan to raise the sum 
of one thousand dollars; this sum to be invested, and the interest 
used as a prize for the best essay submitted, on a subject to be 
chosen by the committee. The contestants to be students in the 
women's colleges of the state, or girls in co-educational institutions. 

Your Regent was elected treasurer, and given the honor of col- 
lecting most of the money she was to have in her care. 

The Pittsburgh Chapter had pledged itself to contribute three 
hundred and fifty dollars to this proposed testimonial, and the Treas- 
urer promptly served notice on the Regent, that the money must be 
paid. 

The majority of the Chapters, then organized, contributed to this 
fund, also several individual members, including Mrs. James R. Mellon, 
Mrs. S. Jarvis Adams, Mrs. John B. Heron and the Regent of this 
Chapter. 

Each year for seven years the committee has awarded the prize 
of fifty dollars, to a student in one of our colleges ©r co-educational 
institutions, and this year, acting upon the suggestion made by your 
Regent, the treasurer of the prize fund, the Pennsylvania Delegates to 
the Eighteenth Continental Congress, authorized the committee to 
secure a design for a bronze medal, so that hereafter a medal will 
accompany the cash prize of fifty dollars. The committee is also to 
send a medal to each winner of the prize in past years. 

The income from this fund, of one thousand dollars, is a little 
over sixty dollars a year. 

The next subject of common interest in the State, was the sug- 



■ 



gestion made by the Pittsburgh Chapter, that the Daughters of the 
State, should present a gift to the Cruiser "Pennsylvania", then build- 
ing in Cramps Ship-yard. The final decision was in favor of a bronze 
bas-relief portrait of William Penn, copied from the portrait of Penn 
in Armor, in the Historical Society's collection in Philadelphia. 

The State Regent appointed a commitee, and again your Regent 
had the honor of being treasurer, with the added honor of collect- 
ing the necessary fund of six hundred dollars, the total cost of the 
bronze medallion. This Chapter gave two hundred dollars to this 
fund, and in 1904 that magnificent bas-relief portrait of William Penn, 
the founder of our State, was sent to Pittsburgh, and exhibited in 
the assembly room of the Chamber of Commerce. The next spring 
it was placed in the officer's room of the Cruiser Pennsylvania, at 
League Island, the formal address of presentation being made by Miss 
Julia Morgan Harding, Chairman of the committee, and Vice-Regent of 
this Chapter. 

The third interest, calling for concerted action in the State, has 
been Memorial Continental Hall; and after the State Legislature had 
passed an act appropriating the sum of two thousand dollars for 
one of the thirteen memorial columns, for the southern portico, the 
Pennsylvania Daughters of the the American Revolution, decided to 
assume the estimated cost of the front vestibule of the memorial 
Continental Hall. 

Over six thousand five hundred dollars was needed for this part 
of the building — and has been collected and paid to the Treasurer 
General, this Chapter contributing several hundred dollars toward the 
total sum. The Chapters in the State have been interested in the 
preservation of several historic sites. An offer was made to assist 
the Sunbury Chapter in the purchase of the site of Fort Augusta, 
and the old stone magizine, but as an agreement, with the owners, 
regarding the price of the property was never concluded, the Sun- 
bury Chapter has confer ted itself with placing a commemorative tablet 
on the river shore, nearby. 

The Chapters, or Chapter Regents, throughout the State lent 
their aid and influence to us when destruction threatened our his- 
toric possession — the Block House of Fort Pitt. And seldom has 
greater interest been displayed in the House and Senate of Pennsyl- 
vania, than when the Pennsylvania Rail Road sought to influence 
the members to enact a law, which would have given that Corpora- 
tion the right to condemn and take possession of our land and build- 
ing. Our gratitude to our sister daughters, is very deep and genuine. 

This year we hoped the bill presented at the request of the 
Governor, authorizing the laying out of a great state highway would 
become a law. We knew that this proposed highway would at some 
points touch the line of march of General Forbes, and that an op- 
portunity would be afforded us to place way marks, of educational 
value, along the modern path through the wilderness— the conquest 



of the Alleghenies being complete. But in the interests of Charity 
and philanthropy, the Governor gave up his cherished plan, and vetoed 
the bill. 

Perhaps some day — there will be a great high-way across the 
Alleghenies, and here and there a monument — a tablet or other mem- 
orial, tracing the advance of the white man from the eastern to the 
western boarders of our state, and marking, at Li as1 in part, forever, 
the paths of Braddock and of Forbes. 

OUR CHAPTER. 

When ten years ago, on the eleventh of next October, I was elected 
Regent of v his Chapter, and I assure you, the responsibility weighed 
heavily upon me — I found three hundred and sixty-four members re- 
corded on the Chapter list. To-day we close our tenth year — of ad- 
ministration — and the Chapter, on Thursday next, June tenth, will 
have reached its eighteenth birthday — with five hundred and fifty 
active members and one Honorary member on the roll. 

Eighteen years ago this Chapter, at the close of the first year, 
of the National Society, October 11th, 1891, had enrolled seventy-five 
Charrer members — there are now forty-three of this Charter mem- 
bership among your members. Within the past ten years — Mrs. Mary 
O'Hara Spring, Miss Kate C. McKnight, Mrs. Lavinia Morgan Harding, 
Mrs. .Mary H. Moorhead, Mrs. Mary Eelle Morton, Mrs. Sarah X. Collins 
MeCandless — all Charter members of this Chapter, have passed away, 
leaving the impress of their lives upon us; having by their patriotism, 
their love of country, shown us the way to do our part, not only hi 
tin work of perpetuating the spirit of those long' gone, but to care 
for those about us who are growing up from childhood to citizenship — 
or who have come to us from foreign shores. 

During the past ten years, your Regent has endeavored to call the 
Board of Management, or as it is now called, the Executive Board, to- 
gether, not oftener than was necessary for the promotion of the 
work of the Chapter. The number of Board meetings have averaged 
about eight, during each Chapter season of nine months — or eighty 
meetings, over which your Regent has presided, and now wishes to 
express to you, her appreciation of the interest shown by the members. 
you have at various times elected to serve as members of your Boards of 
Management, and Executive Boards. The Officers and members of 
the several Boards of the past ten years, have without exception — ■ 
given their time and attention to the multitude of details connected 
with the Chapter work and interests, in a way that has made your 
Regent proud to be associated with them, and proud to have them as 
representatives of this Chapter. 

The work of this Chapter is no trifling matter — your records show 
the completeness, and attention to detail, with which it has been 
carried on. For ten years the five regular Chapter meetings have been 
held each year, in October, December, February, April, and June, and 

7 



as a rule a special meeting held first, in March, when the Continental 
Congress met in Washington in February, and more recently in 
May, following closely the close of the Congress, now held during the 
week, in which the nineteenth of April falls. With few exceptions, 
Washington's birthday and Flag Day have been celebrated each year, 
either with simple ceremonies or with the more elaborate social meet- 
ings, in accordance with the time and place. 

We look back with pleasure, upon those beautiful days under the 
trees of "Grandview", Mrs. S. Jarvis Adams' home, of "Bonnie Blink", 
the home of Mrs. William Walker, where we celebrated our Tenth 
Anniversary, after placing the bronze tablet, marking the site of the 
battle of Grant's Hill, September 14th, 175S, — the day among the roses 
and cherries, at the home of Mrs. McCallam and her daughters, at 
Evergreen, and another Flag Day at "Newington", Shields, when we 
were the guests of Mrs. Halsey Williams, and where seated amid those 
wonderful trees on that beautiful old place, we listened to an address 
by our present day hero, Captain Richmond P. Hobson. Surely our 
members have helped to make our Chapter life very happy. Then, too, 
we remember the year when we celebrated Flag Day and the Louisiana 
Purchase at the same time, in the Pittsburgh Golf Club House, on the 
border of beautiful Schenley Park, and Miss Killikelly told us that 
wonderful story of the land beyond the Mississippi, and that other 
beautiful day, in 1906, when the Chapter celebrated its fifteenth birth- 
day, and Mrs. Donald McLean, President General of the National So- 
ciety, was our guest, and the splendid Country Club and grounds were 
placed at our service by the Board of Governors. You do not wonder 
then that all of these celebrations and those other two, that one held 
on Flag Day, 1907, when we met at the Block House, and raised a great 
new flag, in honor of the law passed to protect that historic place from 
vandal corporations, and to honor the man — Mr. M. H. Kennedy — whose 
hand guided the "Bill" to safety in the Governor's hands; and last year 
when Flag Day was celebrated in our Churches — and the ceremonies 
there made lasting impressions upon old and young alike, are to your 
Regent beautiful pictures of each year of Chapter life. 

We have, too, during the past decade, twice entertained our Presi- 
dent General, Mrs. Fairbanks, for three times has this Chapter been 
honored by the presence of the President General of the National So- 
ciety. First, when we entertained the National Society of the Sons of 
the American Revolution in 1901 and again in 1903 when we enter- 
tained the Daughters of the American Revolution of Pennsylvania, 
when they met in conference here upon our invitation, and Mrs. Fair- 
banks was again our guest. The Chapter, at that time, entertained 
its guests by having a concert in Carnegie Music Hall, by the Pitts- 
burgh Symphony Orchestra, with Luigi Von Kunits, as soloist, and 
Victor Herbert, Director; the concert being followed by a reception, 
given through the courtesy of the Trustees of Carnegie Institute, in the 



Art Galleries; and Mrs. James R. Mellon, our member, and Vice Presi- 
dent General of the National Society, gave a magnificent reception, at 
the Hotel Schenley, for the Chapter and its guests. 

The third time we were thus honored was when Mrs. Donald Mc- 
Lean was present at the time of our fifteenth anniversary. That day 
marks the only absence of your Regent, from any Chapter celebration 
during the past ten years. Nor has your Regent been absent from any 
Board or Chapter meeting during that time, and we have attended 
seven State Conferences — Lancaster, Wilkesbarre, Harrisburg, Pitts- 
burgh, Allentown, Bellefonte and Clearfield, and ten times have, as 
Regent, represented this Chapter at the annual Continental Congress 
in Washington, and many times have been called upon to speak before 
other organizations in the interests of History or Patriotic Education. 
We now make our acknowledgments to a higher power than any hu- 
man agency, for it seems that in the course of human events, this rec- 
ord could not have been made, for during that time we were for one 
winter— that of 1903— going back and forth from Pittsburgh to Harris- 
burg, in the interests of the Block House for a period of seven weeks, 
and during a second session of the State Legislature, 1907 — three 
weeks for the same purpose — to secure an act to protect our Historic 
Block House, from the power of Corporations. And the beautiful lov- 
ing cup you gave me in April, 1903, at the close of that difficult year, 
is an ever present reminder of your appreciation of the services ren- 
dered, and is more than a recompense for the days full of fatigue and 
anxiety; of fear and determination. 

Life— for the period of ten years— has not been altogether smooth, 
but in some way the rough places seem, always, to have come when 
the Chapter was taking a holiday. 

We have not kept a record of all committee meetings, attended 
within the past ten years, but to make a liberal allowance, your Re- 
gent has attended every committee meeting held in the interests of 
Chapter work, save perhaps five or six, but we can not remember of 
even that number being held without our presence. 

In winter we have varied the routine of Chapter meetings by the 
introduction of programs, which have included many papers of rare 
value to us, as students of history, and sometimes we have had music 
on our programs which has been to us an inspiration. At mid-winter 
we have celebrated the birth-anniversary of George Washington, and at 
times his wedding anniversary. 

Sometimes in this, our regular place of meeting, the Twentieth 
Century Club House, and upon two notable occasions, once at the resi- 
dence of Mrs. William Thaw, Jr., when Mr. Tomlinson addressed us, 
and once at the residence of Mrs. S. Jarvis Adams, when we listened 
to the poetic language of Miss Katherine Locke. 

On other anniversary days we have heard Mr. Tomlinson speak of 
"Washington, the Man," when the High School pupils were our guests; 
and Miss Jessie Harding read to us "The Man without a Country," and 



Will Carle ton, "The People's Poet," was with us on another Washing- 
ton's birthday anniversary. The lectures by Miss Worstell, on Nathaniel 
Greene, and on the Signers of the Declaration of Independence, and by 
Miss Jane Meade Welch, on Thomas Jefferson and Alexander Hamil- 
ton, renewed our interest in history and in historical research, and 
have served to keep before us the effect of these great men on our 
country, and to give ns more determination to live up to their ideals, 
and to help our country to an even greater future. 

And during these ten years of which we speak— what have we 
done for our country? 

We have been interested in many things — the School City, Chil- 
dren of the Republic, our own Children of the American Revolution, 
Civil Service, the protection of our flag, our City government, the 
boys and girls of our Southern mountains, the children in our own 
City parks and playgrounds, and our City settlements and Camp 
schools for foreigners. 

We have contributed also to the memorial fund for the nurses of 
the Spanish-American War, and to the Memorial Chapel at Valley 
Forge. Magazines have been sent to our soldiers in the Philippines, 
and prizes given for essays on historical subjects, in our public schools. 

Your great nag Moated over historic Arsenal Park, when the park 
was dedicated to the use of the people, until the close of our sesqur- 
centennial year. 

Alid what have we not done? Some plans of interest have not 
been caried to completion. We hoped to mark the place where Wash- 
ington and Gist crossed the Allegheny river in 1753, but the work was 
deferred until the Block House, then in jeopardy, was safe. Later the 
Colonial Dames carried out the contemplated plan, and again that or- 
ganization has thought to carry out the plan we have often considered 
— of marking the site of Fort Necessity. Our ambition was the pur- 
chase of that property, but when the owner gave his final decision, 
that he would not consider any offer we could make, the committee was 
discontinued. 

We think that historic site of too great importance for a simple 
tablet, and hope that the interest we promoted in the subject, will be 
the means of having erected there a monument, worthy the character 
of Washington, who there met reverses which discouraged him, but 
only for a moment, and then but added to that determination which 
led him through countless discouragements to victory and honor. 

Co-operation of Patriotic Societies in the interest of Fort Necessity, 
as in a great memorial for the Founders of our City, would result in 
that, which would truly honor those who prepared the wilderness for 
our habitation. 

A small beginning has been made for a genealogical and historical 
book collection in Carnegie Library, and some additions have been 
made to our collection of relics, also in the Carnegie galleries. But, 

10 



of other plans, hopes and aspirations still unattained we will say noth- 
ing, but leave all to the kindly care of the Recording Secretary, and, 
after all, you will find there, but little planned — a blank. 

In December, 1906, the Pittsburgh Post reminded us that the one 
hundred and fiftieth anniversary of our City was drawing near, and 
later at the request of the Regent and Vice-Regent, Miss Harding, rep- 
resenting the Chapter, the Mayor, Mr. Guthrie, took under considera- 
tion the plan proposed of having a great historic and civic celebration, 
in honor of our sesqui-centennial and of the act making of our two cit- 
ies one great municipality. 

A year has not yet passed since that celebration, and we will not 
speak of our interest in it in detail. 

The Mayor decided that the celebration should be by the City, and 
not by a combination of organizations. Your Regent did not, there- 
fore, officially represent the Chapter, but was, with Miss Harding, ap- 
pointed a member of the general committee, and being elected third 
Vice-President, and Miss Harding having been appointed Chairman of 
the Women's Auxiliary Committee, both were members of the Execu- 
tive Committee. 

During the early summer the Chairman, Mr. William H. Stevenson, 
appointed a committee of three — Mr. E. M. Bigelow, Mr. William H. 
Davis, Post Master, and our self— to form a plan for an out-of-door cele- 
bration, and we drew up the plan which was adopted and carried out 
by the Greater Pittsburgh Day Committee, of which we were also a 
member, by appointment of the Chairman, Mr. H. D. W. English, and 
later made Chairman of the History Division. 

Upon the details of that celebration, or of those planned by the 
Anniversary Day Committee, of which we were also a member, we will 
not dwell, for you are all familiar with them, but we do remind you, 
that to you our people owe much, for by your insistance and evident 
interest in the subject, and through the interest you have shown, and 
the influence you have gained, during the past eighteen years, came 
the means of reminding the people of Pittsburgh that we too have a 
history, and that none more picturesque exists in all the land. 

On the green hills of Schenley Park, this Spring, you have again 
seen the touch of your hand, in the historic pageant, formed by the 
children of the Recreation Centers and Foreign Associations — repre- 
senting the coming of Nations — Indian, French, Scot, Irish, Slav, Ital- 
ian, Swede, Hungarian, each in turn, advancing to bow before the spirit 
of Pittsburgh, Columbia and of Father Pitt. The games and dances of 
these young representatives of the Nations which make up the popula- 
tion of our great City, were of a historical value far beyond our reali- 
zation. 



11 



THE PAST YEAR. 

During the past year your Regent has made four hundred and fifty 
committee appointments, and the result of the work of these commit- 
tees is seen in improved By-Laws, more varied programs for Chapter 
meetings, more subscribers for the D. A. R. Magazine, a better knowl- 
edge of the extent of the book and relic collections belonging to the 
Society, a greater interest in us from our non-resident members, and in 
a steady advance in the interests of Patriotic Education. 

Your Committe on Entertainment planned for us one of our most 
charming entertainments for the eleventh of February, and your Flag 
Day Committee has in store for you another day when we will meet in 
a social way, yet not forgetting our duty as patriotic women, owing 
much to our country and the people who come to us from across the 
sea. 

Through our Flag Committee recommendations made for the pre- 
sentation of flags have been adopted, and through the Flag Law Com- 
mittee the interest in the law to prevent and punish the desecration 
of the Flag is becoming wide-spread, and we believe that during the 
next decade abuse of the Flag will be practically discontinued. 

Through the work accomplished by your Committee on Permanent 
Memorials you have placed a tablet of enduring bronze upon the monu- 
ment to Dr. Nathaniel Bedford, thereby recording your appreciation of 
a life well spent in service to the country of his choice. 

And through the suggestion of the Committee on Historic Sites we 
hope ere long another memorial will be placed, which will record the 
names of men, who, after serving their country in the cause of Liberty, 
were associated with the early history of our City. 

You have given Flags to our playgrounds and recreation parks, to 
our Soho Settlement, and to our Camp School, and prizes to pupils in 
private and public schools, and we thank you for your interest and 
your co-operation, not only during the past year, but for the past ten 
years, during which time your interests have been mine, and wherein 
I have failed to please or to fulfil expectations, I can only plead human 
weakness, as I told you many years ago, the motto of my fore- 
bears was "Try," and mine by adoption, "Unto thine ownself be true, 
and it will follow as the night the day, thou canst not then be false to 
any man." 

EDITH DARLINGTON AMMON, Regent.
